[Day: Friday, July 16th. Time: 8:10 p.m.]
[We find Rei, Chie, and Chomei in the fountain room with Rau'Yei, who's
currently unconscious but apparently not going to die, despite the beating you
gave her. The room otherwise seems empty.]
[Session Start!]
* Chie looks down at Rau'Yei. "How is she?"
Um.
* Rei checks her vitals.
* Phantasm is now known as JoeBrown
( By the way, except for Chie you guys haven't recovered. Keep that in
mind. )
(Yeah, I'm in pain.)
(Paaaaaain.)
* Rei takes a long moment, and then she beams, despite the bruises and burns and
her clothes being all in tatters. "She's okay. She's alive."
* Chie lets out a very relieved breath.
* Chomei nods. "Good."
* Rei sits next to Rau'Yei. "Anyway, we can't leave her here. Rau. Wake uuuuup
Rau."
We can't really carry her either.
Nope! So we wait 'till she's awake and able to come with or go back to
camp or whatever it is.
This is really confusing.
* Rei stifles a yawn.
Are you sure we have that much time?
* Rei look at Chomei. "*You're* the one who said we can't carry her."
What're we gonna do, just leave her here?
There's not really a safe place we could take her.
Yeah! There isn't.
We should check and see how the others are doing.
* Chie speaks over the communicators. ~Laz? Asanjya? How are you guys doing?~
* Asanjya holds her hand up to her ear. "Fine. We just fought a floating ball of
dead bodies and we may have found one of the crystals in it."
~Dead bodies? Eww. What did the crystal look like?~
~A strange red flaming stone.~
~Didn't you touch something like that, Chie?"
~
~Yeah, I did.~
~We got one, too. What happened to yours?~
~Laz touched it and it was subsumed into him.~
~Okay, so it's not just me...~
~Think it's like what Belmont was talking about?~
~We're continuing onwards. Where are we meeting?~
~The stones that Dracula's minions are guarding? Yeah.~
~Back in the main hallway?~
~Sounds good to me. See you there.~
* Chomei heads to the main hallway.
* Chie looks at Rei. "Let's see if we can at least carry her out there. It's
better than leaving her in here."
* Rei looks up at Chie, then nods. She gets to her feet. "Um, I don't think I
can lift her, really."
We can both try? I'll take her feet, you take her upper body?
* Chomei glances back. "Do you need help with that?"
Yes.
* Chomei comes back and tries to lift her up. I hope she's not too heavy. ^^;
( Don't you wish you had Lazar the Sherpa now? =P )
( Gimme a body roll -2 Chomei )
2d6-2
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 5.
[Chomei is able to carry Rau'Yei.]
Thanks, Chomei.
Okay, but here's the question.
We might have to go back through that maze or something, and there's
gargoyles above the maze and stuff in the maze and we're on a time crunch and I
have burns and they hurt and- oh. I lost the question.
... Right.
Oh, hell. I forgot about that part.
I lost the question, but I made a point!
Think we can get through the maze quickly without flying?
(There's a fountain in this room, isn't there?)
( Yes )
* Rei heads on over to the fountain and checks the water. Is it clean?
2d6
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 11.
Hey, Chie, do you think this is clean?
* Rei kneels over by the water and gets a handful, bringing it to her mouth and
having a drink without swallowing.
I don't know.
* Chie goes over to take a look.
2d6
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 7.
Why are we checking the water?
[When Rei touches the water, her hand starts burning up!]
* Rei yelps, pulling it away. "Ow! OW! Ow ow ow ow ow."
( holy water? )
(What am I, the devil?)
[Her hand still burns. 'Cause it's still wet.
( Holy water in the middle of Dracula's castle? o_o )
* Chomei stays standing with a particular person on his back. "Is that water
drinkable or not?"
(Of course. Castlevania.)
(Where ELSE are you going to find it? Churches? Pfft.)
( Unholy water! )
* Rei screams and flails, waving her hand around, then tries drying it off on
her shirt.
* Chie pulls a cloth out of her bag and hands it to Rei. "What *is* that stuff?"
I dunno, but it hurts!
Okay. Whatever it is you were going to do, I don't think it's a good
idea.
* Chomei walks over to the water. "So... What was your idea? Have her drink the
water?"
[Rei manages to dry it so it only stings a little. Steam is coming from
her hand.]
Good *gods*, Rei.
Geeze, what *was* that?
* Rei whimpers. "I dunno. It looked okay. I was thinking we could wake Rau'Yei
up with it."
That'd definitely wake her up.
Without killing her, Chomei!
* Chie puts a hand to her forehead.
* Chie then wordlessly reaches into her bag, pulls out her water bottle, and
hands it to Rei.
* Rei takes it and opens the thing, pouring some on her hand to ease the pain.
She shakes it. "Maybe I should heal myself a little."
Geeze, take a joke.
This really isn't the time. Is there enough left to wake Rau'Yei up?
* Rei looks in. "Yeah, should be."
* Chomei nods.
So let's try it.
* Rei floats up to Rau'Yei and pours some water on her face! "
Water in face! Go, my waking agents!
( * Rau'yei melts. Didn't we mention that the Et'Ada are allergic to
water? )
(That would explain why Maria was always scared of water...)
( It sure would. )
[Rau'Yei moans a bit and her eyes flicker open.]
* Rei beams down at her. "Hi!"
"Whu? Where am I?" She tries to sit up and doesn't quite make it.
(Probably because Chomei's holding her.)
Uh, Dracula's evil fortress of despair and total randomness. How ya
feelin'?
( That could be a factor. )
* Rei idly places a healing hand on herself. It glows, and burns and bruises
start mending themselves up.
[She says weakly, "Like... Like I'm..."]
(Back.)
Like you're...?
( Like I have the remains of a big purple thing in your chest? )
You won't collapse if I set you down, will you?
["Like I'm gonna... gonna...." She vomits on Chomei. Eeeew.]
...
... Right.
... Okay! I don't know if we have enough water for that.
I would not advise using the fountain.
* Chomei sets her down on the ground and starts trying to get vomit off of him.
Ewwww.
(Chomei's a lame demon now, the unholy water won't hurt him!)
* Rei hands over the water bottle.
* Chomei takes it and uses as littl as he can to get... eww off.
Sure, I get lots of things from this. The ability to stay clean isn't
one of them.
* Rei folds her arms. "Well, maybe you should develop an arrow of cleanliness
and shoot yourself with it."
Maybe I should.
Just don't do the wrong one!
The wrong arrow?
* Rei nods. "Like that freezy thing."
* Rei looks over to Rau. "Are you feeling okay? Well enough to walk?"
Of course not.
* Chie pulls out her other cloth and hands it to Chomei.
[Rau'Yei shakes her head. Frankly, she looks ready to collapse again.]
* Robin is now known as Maria
Thanks Chie.
* Chomei gets most of the guck off. "Eh... Yuck."
Okay, well, um. You're healed. I made sure you're healed.
Are you feeling tired? How'd you get here anyway?
[She blinks. "How.... I'm not in the city anymore?" It just now seems
to dawn on her, and she looks absolutely horrified.]
It's okay! Well, no. It's not really okay. That's the last thing you
remember? The city?
* Chomei rubs his head and mumbles to himself.
* Chie pats Chomei comfortingly on the shoulder, or someplace that didn't get
puked on.
[She nods.]
Oh man, I'm sorry. Uh. We're here to take out Dracula. That's where we
are. His castle. We found you, and you were... um, possessed or something.
["So I'm really not in the city!" She faints from the shock!]
I think we're going to have to carry her out.
Chomei can take her across, then come back for me.
Oh geeze.
We need to get going, though. The others are probably worried. Or at
least wondering what the hell happened to us.
* Chomei sighs and picks her up. "Yeah. Well, they could always call."
* Rei rubs at the back of her head.
Well, on the bright side, they're exploring the other area. I mean,
unless we go to that water place, but we'd better find out if they've got the
last crystal thing first.
* Chomei nods and takes off for the other side of the maze. 'n'stuff.
* Chie waits for him to get back.
[As Chomei flies across the maze, a gargoyle approaches him from one
side.]
* Rei looks up. "
Uh oh."
Aww, shit.
* Rei jumps into the air, flying too! She charges up a white ball of light.
"Disco Nova!" she yells, firing it at the gargoyle.
* Chie runs out there and looks to see if it's close enough that she can fire
off a Spirit Stream.
* Chomei keeps going!
( Gimme attack rolls. )
2d6-3
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-3) and gets 5.
* Chie points her hand at the gargoyle, silver light surrounding her arm.
"Spirit Stream!"
2d6-2
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 2.
[Between the two of you it gets pretty dead.]
* Rei zips over the maze, too, to the other side.
* Chie looks around for more gargoyles.
[There don't seem to be any more coming after you for now.]
* Chie waits for Chomei to deposit Rau'Yei on the other side and come back for
her.
* Rei stays with Rau'Yei on the other side. Yay!
I really, *really* gotta learn how to fly...
( I hear if you jump off a cliff and flap your arms quick enough you
can! )
[You reach the other side okayly.]
(Like, all of us, or just me and Chomei and Rau? ;P)
(Which would be all of us minus me. ;p)
(Shh.)
[Everyone but Chie.]
* Chomei deposits Rau'Yei on the other side and goes back for Chie!
[Chomei succeeds! You're all at the corridor now.]
Okay, back to the others.
* Wingdance has quit IRC (Ping timeout )
* Chie starts walking forward.
* Chomei starts walking forwards too!
* Rei goes! And Chomei's picked up Rau'Yei, right? RIGHT?
Okay, so... um... I dunno. Well, we head back to the main room of doom,
then ask them how they're doing, and if we still need to, I guess we check out
the waterways under this place.
* Chomei did pick up Rau'Yei. After putting down Chie.
[And Main Room you be in! The others aren't, though. Neither is that
kid.]
* Rei looks around. "Huh, I wonder where Death went. Probably to tell Dracs that
people are in his castle."
And the others?
* Chie gets on the communicator. ~Guys? Where are you? We're back in the main
room.~
[No answer!]
~Hello? Guys?~
Maybe they're too busy to answer right now.
* Rei shifts, looking around. Her tail twitches nervously.
* Chomei taps his foot impatiently.
Busy how?
Like fighting?
It's sorta what we came here for.
Mmm.
That's what I was afraid of.
I'm gonna go after them.
~Busy! Fighting spider lizard in a top hat!~
Well, maybe they're wi- wait! If you go after them, then- oh, there she
is.
See! They're alive!
...okay.
* Rei gets on the communicator. ~Are you winning?~
I'm still going in there.
~I'm coming to join you!~
You don't even know where there is!
* Rei facepalms.
It's through that door, isn't it?
~Maybe. We found Maria.~
Yeah, but how do you know where they are through that door?
* Chie points to the door Lazar and Asanjya went through.
I mean, they could have gone through a maze or something!
~No offense, but are you sure it's really her?~
Or fallen into a pit of venemous snakes, or venemous stakes, or just venom
in general!
* Chie looks at Rei. "Fine, fine. I just don't like sittin' around when people
are fighting!"
* Chomei sighs. ~Yeah. There are many of them out there.~
~She seems to think she is. She's not attacking us anymore.~
Okay, but if we're going to *go* somewhere, we should check the other
area.
That we skipped.
Because that's another area and stuff.
~... Anymore?~
Well, if we *are* going ahead, can we leave Rau'Yei here? Will she be
safe? Because we can't really keep hauling her around back there.
* Chie points to the door that she defeated last session.
~The top hat lizard spider was controlling her.~
See, it all makes perfect sense!
[Naomi staggers in! He clothes are ripped a bit and it looks like her
arm and leg are somewhat wounded, but she's grinning. "Hey guys. I'm all done
out there. How's it going?"]
Decent. Have fun?
* Rei starts, then she beams and waves at Naomi. "Hey! You're looking kinda
hurt. Do you need help with that!"
You look like you had a pretty damn good time out there.
* Chie grins back.
[Naomi shakes her head. "Save your energy. Healing magic doesn't work
on me for some reason."]
* Rowyn has joined #besm
[Naomi gives a thumbs up. "Got 197 of the bastards before I lost
count."]
Kick ass!
I think it's technically psionics, but I gotcha, and it is kinda tiring by
a lot. Um, we got one of the crystals, I think, and found a friend of ours who
got kidnapped and possessed.
* Rei points out Rau'Yei.
~Naomi's here.~
Two of 'em, actually, Rei. Laz got one and I got the other.
I meant our little group, not the other little group!
Oh. Well, still, it's good for everyone to know how far we've *all*
gotten.
* Chomei hehs.
[Naomi nods. "Good. There's not much time left. Only three hours."]
~Good. We just got the third stone, I think. Meet you in a bit.~
~Fantastic.~
* Rei wrinkles her nose. "Any ideas what to do with Rau'Yei? I'd take her out,
'cause I'm probably least help with- oh! Yay!" She switches to her intercom.
~That's great! You guys rock.~
Well, three stones so far. Do we know how many in total?
Uh, three, I think.
Then we have them all?
If we do we can keep going, right?
* Rei nods. "Well, if we do, I think we get to fight Dracula and Chie can go all
vampire slayer on us."
* Chie grins.
But first, we gotta make sure that those *are* all the stones.
Well, I dunno how we can make *sure* that they're all of them.
Naomi: "I could watch her. I don't think I'm in condition to fight
Dracula, so..."
We just keep looking- oh? I thought you had to make sure you were there
for the fight, Naomi.
No?
* Rei blinks a few times. "No? Uh, okay."
... You sure?
~We're going to check out another path first. This may not be all the
stones.~
Naomi shrugs helplessly. "Sorry guys. If I thought I could do it I'd go
in a heartbeat. But as it is I'd just be a sitting duck for Dracula."
* Rei nods. ~Okay. I think Naomi's gonna take Rau'Yei out of here.~
* Rei looks to Naomi. "You can get her out safely, right?"
~Alright Asanjya.~
We don't want that to happen. So, yeah, please watch over Rau
* Chomei nods. "Take her out then."
~We've got another path to check, too.~
(EVIL!)
We don't want that to happen. So, yeah, please watch over Rau'Yei for
us. We'll go on ahead and kick Dracula's ass.
~Okay. Check in with you later.~
Naomi nods. "Will do. Good luck."
~By any chance, do anyone have spare set of clothes for Maria? She no in
what would call fighting gear at moment. ~
* Chomei shrugs and looks at the others.
~Not really. Sorry.~
( Take Naomi's clothes! She doesn't need them anymore. )
(Um, no. ;p)
~Y'know, I could really really use another set of clothes, too.~
~In case anyone finds his closet or something.~
It's to the water place of not-so-certain doom!
Go ahead and hand her over, Chomei. She needs to get out of here.
Oh, yay.
* Rei hugs Chie.
* Chie hugs Rei back.
It's okay. I've got you guys.
* Chomei hands over Rau'Yei. "Ready to go?"
[Session End!]
